noise.

You're forgiven, Blinky! Next it will be claiming that its small-lens
camera can produce identical bokeh....

A useful and interesting series of images - thanks for posting them.

Actually, it can do even better than that. I was quite surprised that the bokeh
in that f/5.6 image was as minor as it was. When using the proper achromat
close-up lens on a P&S camera at f/2.0, a point of light 20 inches away would
have disappeared beyond the bounds of the image frame. (Not to mention it would
have pixel-sharp edges and details on the in-focus LED.) Note that's even 3
stops wider than you had available in your $380 lens. (What did it cost new when
you bought it, $500? I quoted the year-old prices online today. Nevermind, I
found an original price quoted online, $450. And that's from a discount supplier
known for their low-low prices. LOL.)

Flash wouldn't have been needed at all with my P&S cameras at f/2.0, being able
to even better demonstrate what you hoped to display.

You all really are perfect fools, aren't you.

This is absofuckalutely amazing.

LOL!!

Go ahead, turn tails and praise the soft-edges and blurriness in dedicated DSLR
glass again. I'm getting quite a laugh out of this. LOL Mind if I use your LED
photo as comparison against those P&S SX10 samples? Then we can claim an over
50x's more resolution on the P&S lens compared to dedicated DSLR glass instead
of just 10x's more resolution from the P&S 20x zoom PLUS macro lens. LOL
